Description
The Winged Victory of Samothrace, also known as the Nike of Samothrace, is one of the most iconic and celebrated sculptures of antiquity.
This marble reproduction captures the majesty and dynamism of the original work, created in the 2nd century BC and traditionally attributed to the sculptor Pitocrito. The original, about 2.5 meters tall, was carved from Parian marble and, according to some hypotheses, may have originally been enriched with decorative details now lost. It is currently displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The work represents the winged goddess Nike, symbol of victory, and is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Hellenistic art. Famous for its extraordinary depiction of movement and expressive power, Nike is portrayed as she lands on the prow of a warship.
The outstretched wings and the drapery of the garment, which seems moved by the wind, create an impression of lightness, energy, and vitality. The statue is missing its head and arms, a detail that paradoxically enhances its charm and mystery, evoking the image of an eternal victory, capable of surviving time and every obstacle.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Nike of Samothrace is the way the garments seem to cling to the body, highlighting the muscular tension, movement, and dynamism of the figure.

Historical Curiosities
The Nike of Samothrace was discovered in 1863 by the French archaeologist Charles Champoiseau on the island of Samothrace, in the Aegean Sea.
The work was probably erected to celebrate a naval victory. It is believed that the sculpture may have been commissioned to honor a victory of the Rhodian fleet in the 2nd century BC, although the precise circumstances remain uncertain.
Also noteworthy is the mythological relationship linking Nike to Zeus: according to tradition, the king of the gods chose the goddess of victory as an ally during the war against the Titans. Nike thus became the divine symbol of triumph, strength, and success.
Maintenance
To preserve the beauty of the marble statue, it is recommended to clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid using harsh chemical products that could damage the surface. If necessary, use a solution of lukewarm water and neutral soap, drying immediately with a clean cloth to prevent the formation of streaks.
It depicts the winged goddess of victory landing on a ship’s prow. The original work is displayed at the Louvre in Paris.

Siamo felici che tu sia soddisfatto del nostro lavoro, grazie!
Muy buena escultura, con excelentes acabados y gran nivel de detalle . Buena calidad del material y luce elegante en cualquier espacio . Llegó en perfectas condiciones. Muy recomendada
Questo pezzo è assolutamente sbalorditivo, ha molti più dettagli di quanto mi aspettassi e i colori sono affascinanti. Non rimarrai deluso se acquisti questo pezzo
La estatua me encanta, el nivel de detalle de las alas y el vestido son excelentes. Muy bien empaquetada, lo que asegura su llegada sin daños. La única pega es que se hecha en falta en la base de marmol negra unos apoyos de silicona que protejan el mueble sobre el que se apoya la figura.
Wonderful statue with amazing workmanship. My daughter loved it.
Additional note is the packaging was customized to ensure the wings did not break off in shipping from Italy to USA.
Sono contentissimo della Nike che ho comprato da voi,bella scultura.E la terza statua che compro ,e sono contento dei vostri articoli.Se sarebbe meno cara la vostra Sacra Famiglia in vetro e avrebbe nel suo interno 2 o 3 putti barocchi l'avrei comprata.
Very happy with my purchase, the statue was excellent with beautiful details. The packaging was also well-planned so that the statue would not break during transport.
Die Nike ist zwar schön, entspricht aber nicht den Fotos im Shop. Sie hat einen zusätzlichen weissen Marmorsockel der nicht abgebildet ist und einen grossen Bauchnabel.
Qualität und Verarbeitung sind gut
Je suis heureuse de mon achat pièce magnifique et encore chapeau au service de livraison qui se sont mis en quatre pour que je puisse l'avoir le 22 décembre le jour de l'anniversaire de ma fille.
Il ne faut surtout pas hésiter à commander chez eux professionnel de l'emballage et de la livraison
Merci encore
Die Statue ist genau so wie auf dem Bild - sie gefällt mir sehr. Der Marmorsockel ist echt und kein Imitat. Ich bin mit meinem Kauf sehr zufrieden. Man weiss ja zuvor nicht, was man erhalten wird. Ich wurde positiv überrascht.
Die Marmorstatue Nike von Samothrake gefällt mir äußerst gut. Ich werde sie in meinem Wohnbereich so platzieren, dass ich sie oft anschauen und mich an ihr erfreuen kann.
